different between methyl vs methal
methyl
English
Etymology
Borrowed from German Methyl; compare the French méthyle.
French chemists Jean-Baptiste Dumas and Eugene Peligot, after determining methanol's chemical structure, introduced "methylene" from the Ancient Greek ???? (méthu, “wine”) + ??? (húl?, “wood, material”) with the intention of highlighting its origins, "alcohol made from wood (substance)". The term "methyl" was derived in about 1840 by back-formation from "methylene", and was then applied to describe "methyl alcohol".

Noun
methyl (plural methyls)
- (organic chemistry) The univalent hydrocarbon radical, CH3-, formally derived from methane by the loss of a hydrogen atom; a compound or part of a compound formed by the attachment of such a radical.
- 1973, Robert E. Cornish, Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies, page 119,
- You might point out in the theory of oxidation of oils, in development of rancidity in oils, that many methyls accelerate this oxidation of oils. I do not want to burden you with a lecture on chemistry but there are some methyls like iron which has both a valence of two and of three. Another example is cobalt which has a valence of both two and three.

- The southern acetates must be decarboxylated to methyls.
- 2005, Bruce A. Hathaway, Organic Chemistry the Easy Way, page 38,
- The most stable form has the groups staggered and the methyls as far from each other as possible (DA[dihedral angle] = 180°).
